Dr Michael Owusu, a virologist at the Kumasi Center for Collaborative Research (KCCR), claims that monkeypox is not as lethal as the coronavirus.
He believes it is unlikely to result in fatalities, as was the case with Covid.
His remarks came after five instances of monkey pox were reported in Ghana’s Eastern, Western, and Greater Accra regions.
At a news conference on Wednesday, June 8, the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, verified this.
Speaking on this development on the mid day news on TV3 Wednesday June 8, Dr Michael Owusu said “…What it means is that no country can escape it at the moment, we just have to find strategies to deal with it
such that we can contain it and possibly, break the chain of transmission.”
Asked how deadly monkey pox is, he said “well, the mortality rate of monkey pox is not that high as compared to Covid which we were doing close to 10 per cent mortality rate.
“Monkey pox causes discomfort, body weakness, sometimes fever but it is unlikely to cause death. Even if there will be cases of death, you need to have large numbers of it in people who are mostly already weak, they are those who are likely to die.”
He further gave guidelines on how to tackle the outbreak.
Fortunately, he said, the monkey pox is caused by virus just as Covid, hence “application of hand sanitizer is very crucial, even the use of mask and avoiding body contact as much as you can.”

Monkeypox, while a significant health concern, is generally not as dangerous as COVID-19, according to virologists. The virus is primarily transmitted through close contact, including skin-to-skin exposure and shared items like bedding, and is not as easily spread as the airborne coronavirus.
Most cases of monkeypox result in mild symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and rash, which usually resolve without the need for hospitalization. In contrast, COVID-19 has demonstrated the ability to spread rapidly, cause severe respiratory complications, and overwhelm healthcare systems globally.
Vaccines and treatments for monkeypox, such as the smallpox vaccine and antiviral drugs like tecovirimat, are effective and available in many regions. Public health experts recommend early diagnosis, treatment, and vaccination for high-risk groups to control outbreaks. While vigilance is necessary, monkeypox does not pose the same level of global threat as COVID-19.
